University Holsteins Win National Honors
Moscow, Dec. 10. — The only three
generations of "excellent" cows of the
Holstein breed in the entire United
States have been bred and developed
by the University of Idaho college of
agriculture.
This outstanding record was established when the university herd was
officially classified for type in November, according to a report received by
Prof. D. L. Fourt, in charge of the
herd, from the superintendent of advanced registry for the Holstein-
Fnesian Association of America.
Prof. J. C. Knott of Washington
State college, official inspector for the
association, rated Idaho Perfection
Delight, the cow that was selected as
the all-America 3-year-old for 1934,
as "excellent." Previously, her dam,
Idaho Heilo Iris, and her granddam,
Idaho Piebe Jessica, had received
this top rating.
The university's herd suffered a
distinct loss just a week after the
classification when LaVata Echo De-
Kol, senior herd sire, died at the age
of 13. He was imported from British
Columbia a year and a half ago.
